Wow, ours started about that low but never went below 1.000... good job!ThePaterPiper wrote:Only about 150ml fores if that. We normally take about 250ml but no smell of fores at that point so straight on to collection jars from there.
We found the same... very little forshots (what we’re used to from to Tried & Proven recipes anyway!) and almost no heads!
Clearly we are inexperienced, but I was surprised how little there was!! :-B
Unfortunately the same can’t be said for tails... nearly as much as what we decided to keep! :angry-banghead:
Good write-up.

I do not put the bag in the mash tun put the biab bag in a big stock pot and scoop it out with a jug and do it in batches .

I'm a big Ardbeg / Laphraoig fan but I'm a bit worried that I may be overdoing it a bit if I ferment on the grain as well as use 100% heavy peated malt.
Anyone have any comment on this?
